Reagan Inauguration and Hostage Release 30th Anniversary
The anniversaries of big important events in recent American history (war, transfers of power, NASA tragedies) are coming at a fevered pace this week, and once again, YouTube is the convenient place to turn for such nuggets as:
President Ronald Reagan's complete Inaugural Address (courtesy of CSPAN via YouTube)
Home VCR Airchecks of complete CBS TV coverage of Reagan's inauguration and the near-simultaneous release of American hostages from Iran
In the randomness that is the current crop of what's available on YouTube, the introduction of consumer-level VCRs in the late 1970s is the only likely reason for the abundance of homemade airchecks that date to this era.
It's too bad for anyone interested in history and media history that those annoying, constantly flashing "12:00:00" clocks didn't become living room fixtures MUCH earlier!
